Game Thread Spurs (23-9) vs Knicks (23-9) (Wed 12/31/25) [6:00 PM CDT]

11 TOV that half as well (5 by Wemby/Castle). Need to also cut that shit out if we want to have a chance.

 

[Paramore]

we could use Chris Paul right now, haha

 

[heyheymymy]

Nice work to salvage some momentum. Cmon spurs

 

[LeBowen]

Never thought PG play would be a problem running Fox, Castle, and Harper, but ugh here we are

Three of them have near-identical USG%, I'm not sure if there's a way to find those stats depending on who's the floor.
Our issue is that Castle has the ball too much when Fox is also on the floor.

Was fine when Wemby was out, but now that he came back he's taking away from Fox and not Castle.

 

[Paramore]

Nunezzz, where are you hmmmmmm

 

[sKiN20]

Castle suck ass tonight

 

[onechance87]

Our perimeter players cant shoot for shit.Castle alone killing us alone.We probably need start thinking about benching
barness as well.

 

[Snaq O'Meal]

CP as the head coach will be a major upgrade for the team.

 

[Itzsoweezee]

wemby is being a total pos

Wemby is the only reason this game isn’t a blowout. Ya’ll are wild

 

[The Ballsbreakers]

Red wouldn't be able to convince Wemby to play his height.

He's a guard at heart.

This deficit is not on Vic

 

[PanameSpur]

at those focusing on Wemby starting or not as being the reason for our losses....

Still can't differentiate correlations from causes smh

For reference, Fox is taking 3 less shots per game when Wemby also plays.
Castle's shots with and without Wemby are the same.

Wemby's shots have also dropped by 1.5 with Fox.

We need to take some shots away from Castle and give them to Fox, simple as that.
Castle isn't an offensive engine like Fox is and if we have winning games as our priority, we can't constantly live through his bad sequences.

 

[100%Duncan]

Just woke up. First half summary?

 

[Dex]

Just woke up. First half summary?

Skynet has become sentient.

 

[Paramore]

We should look for affordable 3 and Ds ...........

thats the most responsible thing to do right now

 

[The Ballsbreakers]

I'm all for Wemby taking all the shots he wants from any and all foo on the team right now if they can't perform their assignments and hit their 3s.

 

[SpurPadre]

Not knocking Mitch at all but just curious, what would the team’s record be if Pop were coaching this season? Same? Better?

 

[STAT88]

Down 10 is a miracle. Spurs still in this.

Knicks 12-24 from 3 and Spurs 6-19. Spurs -18 in the 3 point game.

Good recovery from Wemby in the 2nd after a disastrous 1st.

Champ has played well hitting shots and defending well.

Barnes still falling asleep on defense so much.

Fox needs to run the show second half not Castle. The issue with Castle is how effective is he off the ball especially when he’s ice cold from 3.

Wemby should pop more and shoot 3s to open the paint. No one else is hitting.

 

[Paramore]

Skynet has become sentient.

Duncan Idaho is watching closely, hehehe

Just my opinion, but to me this all went downhill after we were in the midst of a big comeback, on the verge of beating the Jazz, and Mitch retardingly decided to IMMEDIATELY bench the two players LARGELY responsible for the comeback, Wemby and KJ. tO rEsT tHeM.

Mitch completely tanked our momentum from that game. We could've continued the streak, but wonder-boy decided to get cute. This is Mitch's fault just as much as anyone's. Probably more, imo.

Yeah, we talked about it during that game and you're right.
But that can't be an excuse for almost everyone underperfoming two games later.
Shit happens during the season, you need to learn how to overcome it.

 

[SanAnSpursFan21]

Just woke up. First half summary?

A repeat of the last two games so far

 

[Mugen]

Maybe Steph should have sat this one out, we'd be up by 10 if he didn't play that 1st half. Jesus

 

[PanameSpur]

It's not the issue

The issue is the lack of go-to move, even a simple floater... nothing, it's the absence of movement and over dependence of his iso basketball, it's the over dependence of our guards doing it all by themselves etc

And I’m not even talking about the shameful defense on 3s that's gotten worse and worse at time goes.

Mitch has a lot of qualities, does a lot of good stuff, respect for putting Sochan aside for ex, but in the end he's going to need YEARS to learn his job and make countless avoidable mistakes he needs to go through.
